BDA Sites and less government arguement !
" Formation of 60000 sites by BDA in the Nada Prabhu Kempegowda Extension."
This is one of the highlights of the Yeddi's budget. Recently there were lots of comments flying back & forth in favor of less government. In the face of that arguement, do the government needs to be in business of selling housing plots/sites? Isn't it the BDA one of the hotbed of corruption corridors in B'lore? Isn't time BDA is stripped of its function of layout formation and sale of sites? If less is the mantra, BDA should be left to regulate the real estate development?
BDA Sites
BDA sites and our ideals !
TS,
We may not like it but it is a reality. We love BDA sites because it is cheaper than market rate and comes with all the basic amenities (or atleast a promise) and this has good re-sale potential. It is cheaper because, govt pays the less than market value to most vulnerable section of the society, i.e. farmers and small farmland owners. We are not against BDA, because we can manipulate (recommendation/bribe) with BDA babus and politicians to garner the prize hoolding in the Bangalore.
Now lets come back to our ideals that we are preaching on Praja and other forums. We are saying, there should be competition, price to be determine by Market and govt should withdraw from all its functions except for regulation and policy making. We do not want our tax to be spent on education, health and social support to weaker section of th e society.
In the face of such ideals, what is our stand against BDA w.r.t its function of land acquisition at cheaper rate, layout formation and selling to NOT-NEEDY. What is our stand against BDA culture of corruption at each and every step of site allotment process.
Just because we are owning one such site, should we still continue our patronage to BDA and its culture of corruption?

how much is going into salaries?
Tarle
The expenditure break-up has been shown sector-wise. Is there any way to find out what part of the whole goes into just salaries alone. My feeling is we have long ago crossed the sustainable level there.
Rather late to be commenting on this - but, better late than never.

Good Question!
TS,
You ask a very good question ...
'... not all villagers are landowning farmers. a village has all sorts of people. so what happens to those people, who dont own lands, when the entire village is acquired?'
Our farm had an entire village in the middle of it and pretty much every one of them worked on the farm. Once land was notified, the farm had to stop operations, all of them became instantly unemployed and would soon be homeless as well. We were able to find alternate employment for some of them, the rest had to fend for themselves.
I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
